There are probably ways to make it use variables instead of hardcoding
(say) "wheezy-security"... :)

I looked at the code and there are around 14 instances of "$opt_s" in
the code. Either we need to duplicate that or make --lts enable $opt_s
and customize some bits of it.

Did we ever hear from the maintainers of devscripts to see if a patch
would be accepted? I'd be happy to fix that up... it doesn't look too
hard.
